Dalmatian Archipelago
Spectacular views of the islands of Hvar, Brač, and Korčula floating in the deep blue Adriatic Sea.
Velebit Mountains
The rugged, rocky coastline where the Dinaric Alps meet the sea, creating a stark white-on-blue contrast.
Venice and the Lagoon
If the flight path hugs the northern coast, you can see the unique shape of the island city of Venice and its surrounding wetlands.
The Dolomites
The jagged, pale limestone peaks of this UNESCO World Heritage site are a highlight of the transit over Northern Italy.
Lake Geneva (Lac Léman)
A stunning view of the entire crescent-shaped lake, with the Swiss vineyards of Lavaux and the city of Lausanne visible.
Book a window seat on the right for morning flights to keep the sun behind you while photographing the Croatian islands. This side is also preferred for the approach into GVA, as it typically offers a sweeping view of the Jura Mountains and the northern shores of Lake Geneva.

Dubrovnik Old Town
If taking off toward the north, catch a glimpse of the ancient city walls and the terracotta rooftops of the Pearl of the Adriatic.
Italian Adriatic Riviera
Clear views of the long sandy beaches and coastal resorts of the Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions of Italy.
Po Valley & Milan
The sprawling industrial heart of Northern Italy and the metropolitan area of Milan are visible on clear days.
Mont Blanc Massif
The highest peak in the Alps often appears on the left as the plane approaches the Swiss-French border.
Geneva City & Jet d'Eau
During a western approach to GVA, see the iconic 140-meter tall water fountain and the urban center of Geneva.
The left side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights as the light hits the Italian coast and the southern face of the Alps beautifully. If landing on Runway 22 at GVA, the left side provides a close-up view of the city center and the lake's southern shore.
